    Well... thanks to Cappo (and MagpieCottage, for the post about the FSA rule which came in very handy!)... here is my appeal letter to M&S Money...:

    Thank you for your letter of 7 October, in which you reject my complaint of mis-sold PPI on the above credit card account.

    I appreciate the time and effort you took to investigate my complaint. However, I wish to appeal against your finding on the following basis:

    On the application form, a copy of which you enclosed with the pertinent section highlighted (copy included with this letter), you will see that the last line – in bold lettering with a sample cross beside the box – states “We strongly recommend you take cover by ticking this box”. I have sought independent financial advice and am told that this emboldened statement constitutes an “advised/recommended sale”.

    In addition, the credit card and its benefits were being promoted in-store by a Marks and Spencer representative. Whether they were specifically representing home-ware items, groceries, money or lingerie is of little relevance – their primary duty that day was recommending M&S credit cards to customers, encouraging us to complete the application form, and were representing the Marks and Spencer company as a whole.

    To answer your points about why I never previously queried the PPI, firstly, as outlined above you strongly recommended that the cover was taken out and, secondly, FSA Rule DISP App 3.3.6G says, "The firm should not reject a complaint because the complainant failed to exercise the right to cancel the policy."

    I should therefore be grateful if you would reconsider my complaint and my request to refund the full amount of PPI paid on this credit card account, plus interest, in accordance with the FSA’s rulings.

    I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

    Fingers (and claws, in Jasper-dog's case) crossed... ;)

    Well, further to my sending the above, today I received the following:

    Thank you for contacting us.... etc.

    In view of what you have pointed out, we have begun to reinvestigate your case; we will write to you again when this process is complete. We will send you this more detailed response within two working weeks from the date of this letter.

    Once again, thank you for... etc.


    Hey-ho - more waiting then! At least they haven't dismissed me out of hand...!

    Keep smiling!

    If you watched Watchdog tonight, you will have seen that a customer received a form from the Halifax WHICH TOLD HIM TO F.... OFF

    Halifax blamed it on maybe a disgruntled member of staff:rotfl::rotfl:

    ITS NOT JUST THE STAFF THAT ARE UPSET WITH HALIFAX / LLOYDS TSB

    Is it open season to tell the staff to F .. OFF when you receive a "fob off" letter ?:T
